Hiring Process For Potential Employees Of The Criminal Justice System
The paper should specifically examine the requirements for becoming a police officer, but may also consider other criminal justice jobs such as probation officers, officers of the court, and correction officers (especially if you intend to seek employment in one of those fields). The paper should examine the process as it currently exists and its effectiveness. What personal characteristics are desirable? Which should be avoided? How can they be identified? Do (and should) potential employers consider criminal history? Drug use? Credit? Driving record? Academic records? Mental Health? Personal references? The paper should give an overview of the process, and your position on that process, ie., is it effective? too lenient or strict? If you were in charge, how would you ensure you are hiring quality employees?
